Bank of India on July 23, 2012, introduced a new category of NBFC Factors and
stipulated that every company seeking registration as NBFC-Factors would have a

may approach the RBI for time to comply with the requirement. An NBFC-Factor

business is not less than 75 percent of its gross income. However they should
raise the asset/income percentage as required or unwind the factoring business
within 2 years from the date of this notification.
